In a year filled with uncertainty and anxiety for students across the country, the students at James Faulkner Elementary School have found safety and solitude, not inside their small southern New Hampshire schoolhouse, but in the woods behind it.As COVID-19 cases spiked across the country and school districts agonized over whether to send kids back to in-person learning, students and teachers in this picturesque New England town decided to move classes outdoors. Now, three months into the school year, there’s talk of making these newly constructed outdoor classrooms a permanent fixture for kids, pandemic or not.“We’ve experienced this and seen that we can make it work,” explained elementary school teacher Jacquie Cornwell. “There’s been discussions about whether this is something we want to continue doing. It’s just been such a positive experience for our kids.”Cornwell, 34, has been teaching for nearly a decade. Going into this school year, she was incredibly concerned about her own safety and the safety of her students. Stoddard is home to just over 1,200 people, and the small school building here doesn’t lend itself to much social distancing. So, as the school year began, students here started constructing two “base camps” in the woods behind the school. Each morning, students pack up their books, pencils and snacks and head outside.They even petitioned the town of Alderman to use some of the land that isn’t technically on school property.Now, dozens of kids spent three to four hours a day learning outside. On a recent afternoon this fall, Mother Nature had painted their classroom walls in vibrant orange hues, as the maple trees that surround the property here prepared to shed their leaves for the winter.All of it has helped to foster a learning environment that Cornwell says has been free of stress and anxiety. Something hard to come by during a pandemic.“I’ve noticed that on days when we are outside, negative behaviors really seem to much less than when we are indoors,” she said.Looking around at her students scattered on small wooden benches around the woods, Cornwell can’t help but reflect on how surprised she’s been at how well this school year has turned out.“It’s really turned something that could’ve made this year horrible, sitting in desks, facing forward, not playing with friends, into one of the best years I’ve had in my nine years of teaching,” she said.The New Hampshire air is plentiful out here, which minimizes concerns about ventilation and COVID-19 lingering in the air. There hasn't been a single case of COVID-19 reported here this year. With the risk of spreading COVID lower outdoors, students can even take off their masks sometimes when having snacks or reading in socially-distanced groups.It’s brought on a sense of normalcy for these students, something they’ve longed for since the spring.“The woods have all kinds of sounds, the birds, the planes going by. It makes it feel normal,” said 10-year-old student Brie Bell.Bell and her classmates have taken pride in this outdoor space they've built by hand. They've hung hammocks for reading time and even built a fire pit for the colder months. With coronavirus cases spiking across the country, students here seem genuinely invested in keeping this concept going as long as it means they get to continue in-person learning.“I feel like they’re having these impactful experiences they’re going to carry with them for the rest of their lives,” Cornwell said. 3486

IMPERIAL BEACH, Calif. (KGTV) - Friday’s high tide was powerful enough to wipe out a front porch and flood streets along the Imperial Beach coastline. Some neighbors who live along Seacoast Drive tried to put out sandbags earlier in the week. It wasn’t enough to stop water from reaching inside homes. “I’ve talked to someone they've lived here 30 years they say this is the worst they've seen,” a neighbor told 10News. Many residents are concerned about the bacteria lingering in the ocean after recent sewage spills, and now draining into their homes. RELATED: Sandbags available in San Diego CountyMark Merrifield from the Scripps Institute of Oceanography is studying the combination of waves and tides that lead to these flooding events. “We have sensors out in the water measuring offshore waves, waves as they come to the shore and the flood as it happens around the street here,” said Merrifield. Imperial Beach crews are removing sand from the roadway so they can get to the clogged storm drain and start relieving some of the flooding.FEMA flood maps for the Imperial Beach area indicate the southern end of the street is designated as a floodway. Check your home's likelihood of flooding here.Wow! Really high tide here in Imperial beach. Water soaking the area. @10News pic.twitter.com/F3P6dNr7HS— Mimi Elkalla (@10NewsMimi) December 21, 2018 1362

If California electric utility PG&E is responsible for California's wildfires, it may not be able to afford the payouts it would owe.PG&E disclosed in a regulatory filing Tuesday that it "experienced an outage" on a transmission line in Butte County at 6:15 a.m. on November 8 -- just 15 minutes before the Camp Fire that has so far claimed 48 lives broke out.PG&E said the cause of the fire is still under investigation. But if its equipment is found to be responsible for it, PG&E "could be subject to significant liability in excess of insurance coverage" and that this could have "a material impact" on its financial results.The utility renewed its liability insurance coverage for wildfire events for an amount of approximately .4 billion that covers the period from August 1, 2018 through July 31, 2019, the company said in the SEC filing.But the fire is far from being under control, which means more damage is likely. PG&E said in the filing that the California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection estimates the fire won't be fully contained until November 30.The damages alone could cost up to .8 billion. according to a report from Moody's this week.PG&E may not have enough to cover the cost that, let alone any legal fees or fines it might have to pay. The utility said in its filing that it currently has .46 billion in cash after borrowing from an existing revolving credit line.Shares of PG&E (PCG) plunged more than 30% Wednesday following this disclosure and were briefly halted for volatility. The stock has now fallen by half since the Camp Fire began.The utility could need another bailout from the state of California if it's found to be liable for the Camp Fire.Governor Jerry Brown signed a bill in September that lets PG&E issue bonds backed by surcharges from the utility's customers. Those bonds would help pay for damages tied to deadly California wildfires in October 2017 caused by faulty PG&E equipment.The bill allows for the possibility that utilities could issue similar bonds for future fires, but that is not guaranteed.PG&E already faces one lawsuit on behalf of victims of the Camp Fire.A group of law firms that has dubbed itself the Northern California Fire Lawyers filed a suit Tuesday on behalf of Camp Fire survivors.The firms allege in the suit that "PG&E was negligent in failing to maintain its infrastructure and properly inspect and manage its power transmission lines." 2507

In a string of tweets on Monday morning, President Donald Trump further denied allegations made in a New York Times report that he had not paid income taxes 10 of the past 15 years.Trump insisted on Twitter that he had paid "many millions of dollars in taxes" and that he was "entitled, like everyone else, to depreciation & tax credits."According to The New York Times, which claimed to have obtained two decades of Trump's returns, the then-real estate mogul leveraged hundreds of millions of dollars that he earned from hosting "The Apprentice" into several expensive projects that have resulted in massive losses. The Times reports that while Trump said in a 2018 public filing that he made 4.9 million in revenue, his tax records indicate he lost .4 million that year. Trump then used those losses to avoid paying income taxes, the Times reports.The Times also reported that Trump paid just 0 in income taxes in 2016 and 2017, and is "personally responsible for loans and other debts totaling 1 million, with most of it coming due within four years."Trump argues that because of his "extraordinary assets," he, in fact, is "extremely well leveraged.""I have very little debt compared to the value of assets," Trump tweeted.Prior to publishing its reports, The New York Times says Trump Organization lawyer Alan Garten claimed that “most, if not all, of the facts appear to be inaccurate.” During a press conference at the White House on Sunday, Trump called the Times report "fake news." 1516
